This was so easy overnight but I had to leave my cover off for 1.5 hours on low then 1 more hour on high to get it right for canning. I guess my apples were extra juicy! I increased the cloves to 1tsp and changed the sugar to 1 cup white and 1 cup brown. I canned 2 half pints and 3-4oz jars for gifts this Christmas. Yummy!

I cut back the sugar by about a cup, and should have cut back even more based on the apples I was using. I'd say I should have used half the sugar as others mentioned, since some of the apples I used were on the sweet side to begin with. I used a mix of Granny Smith, McIntosh and Cortland, and it came out delicious, but very, very sweet. Only other change was to add a couple shakes of allspice. Still, it's a great recipe and I can't wait to make it again!

I had a ton of apples and decided to try this recipe. It was delicious. My house smelled wonderful and I gave some away to friends and they all loved it. I had never cared much for apple butter before this. Thank you.

Such an easy recipe. I put my apples in the crockpot at 9:00 at night and cooked them on high 1 hour. I turned the setting to low and went to bed at 10:00. I woke up the next morning to find them all done. I removed the lid and cooked them on high for 2 hours to thicken them up a bit. Wonderful!

This is something that is going to vary depending on a person's preference. I am giving 5 stars because it works! I used 3lb apples, 2 cups sugar, same amount of spice listed in original recipe. After it cooked down a bit I used my hand held blender and blended it all together. It took only about 9 hours in my slow cooker. Awesome way to make Apple Butter!

My neighbor's boyfriend has an apple tree in his yard. No one was doing anything with thoes beautiful apples. My other neighbors and I made apple sauce, then I made Dumplings, pie crisp, cinnamon applesauce. I still had apples, so I found this recipe and tried it. I have made two batches just to get to keep some for myself. Neighbors, family and friends all give this 5 stars!!

Really great recipe! I am a Virginia girl, and we love apple butter. This recipe reminds me of home! I used Gala apples and followed recipe exactly. Beautiful brown color and the smell is wonderful. My emersion blender made it nice and smooth. Thanks again.

The BEST apple butter I have ever had! My sister-in-law gave me a big bag of small tart green apples from her tree so this recipe came to mind thanks to a past recommendation from "TristansMom". The flavor is strong, sweet, slightly spicey and tart at the same time, and just the smell of it cooking all day is heavenly. Will definately make this again, thank you! P.S. Took Tristansmom's advice to put it hot on vanilla ice cream, add some caramel sauce and WOW!!!

I am so glad I tried this recipe. I followed another reviewers advice and just used 4 apples and cut the serving size down to 20. This made enough to fill a container for just my husband and I. I do think that this would make a good Christmas gift like other reviewers stated. I didn't use cloves because I didn't have any on hand and I'm not really a clove person. I added a little more cinnamon though and vanilla. Next time I make this I am going to add more apples and less sugar. I'd also like to try it with half brown sugar. However, this is probably just personal preference. I don't have a huge sweet tooth. This was delicious though. I started it about 8pm and let it cook overnight. This morning I woke up and used my hand blender to blend it a bit and had it on a piece of toast on the way to work. Wonderful!

I did not like this recipe. I thought it has to much ground clove. Also it never stated what kind of apples to use so I used Fuji and it just did not taste right!

I had almost exactly 1 and 3/4 lb apples so I made the recipe for 20 servings. I used 1 cup splenda and 1/4 cup brown sugar, rather than the suggsted 1 and 1/4 cup sugar and this is the best thing I've ever eaten in my life! I've had toast and apple butter for evry meal since it finished. And hot, over vanilla ice cream is sooooo GOOD! If there were more than five stars, this recipe would get them all!

Easy and tasty. My husband is very picky about his apple butter and this was a hit. Warning: I made it according to the recipe and it was TOO sweet so I doubled the apples and it was perfect. Either double your apples or 1/2 the sugar called for.

Very easy recipe. Only gave 4 stars because it should specify which types of apples are best to use... My husband brought home Red Delicious because those come conveniently in the 3# bags, and I used them. However, I'm sure this would have tasted better with an apple variety more suitable for cooking like Gala or Honeycrisp. My butter came out quite brown, and tasted fine on a bagel, but I would not can it to give to friends. It did blend nicely for use in the "Apple Butter Pumpkin Pie" from this site and an apple butter rugelach cookie from a magazine. I plan on using the rest in an "Apple Butter Pork Loin" in a few days.

The texture was really nice after simmering it for an additional two hours (I like my apple butter really thick) but I just couldn't bring myself to taste the batch I made. To me, it just smelled burnt. I think it was from the cloves of which I am not a very big fan of to begin with. I will be trying this recipe again however, this time without the cloves.

Yummy! I made this yesterday and just had some on toast this morning. It was really easy to make...I didn't even really measure the ingredients out. I just filled my crockpot full of apple slices, eyeballed the cinnamon and cloves, and only put in about 1.5 cups of sugar since I was using golden delicious apples, which are really sweet to begin with. This is going to be a fall tradition in my family! Thanks for the recipe!

Mmmmmmm yummy! I had just gone apple-picking and had tons of apples to use up; this recipe was a great way to do that! Just set it in the Crockpot before going to bed and finished it in the morning - so easy! Cooked down nicely, although mine needed an extra hour or 2 in the cooker to get rid of some excess liquid in the mixture. Took a whisk to it when it was all done because some of the apples looked a little chunky and it came out wonderfully! Planning to use these for stocking stuffers at Christmas :)

This is a good recipe. I add more spices as I like mine a bit spicier. I use this recipe every year in the fall. It gives the house a wonderful smell
